Samenvatting

The aim of the present study was to examine how gender works on boards of National Sport Organisations (NSOs) in Australia with the following research questions: (1) What are the gender relations that characterise the composition and operation of sport boards in NSOs in Australia in terms of a 'gender regimes' approach, that is, one that draws on categories associated with the gendered organisation of production, power/authority, emotional attachment and symbolic relations?; (2) What are the implications or prospects for gender equality on these boards in terms of the barriers and opportunities created by the specific configurations of gender relations and dynamics?
